      Thank you! I'm glad you appreciate the simplicity of the projects. When it comes to recycling, less is better. I enjoy using basic, easily accessible materials and don't dress them up further because, at the end of the day, it's meant to be eco-friendly. Avoiding spray paint and expensive craft supplies makes the projects more approachable and better for the environment! 😊

    I'm not saying we shouldn't recycle and reuse where we can, but the ideas have to be practicable. No use using flimsy meat or fruit trays that won't stand the test of time. And I would always find some way of binding cut edges and fancying containers up with paint or unwanted paper and fabric. And there's only so much storage you need. I'm 71 and have always reused cardboard boxes, sturdy plastic boxes, fancy gift bags and all manner of things. The rest goes in the recycling bins and the nice bin men come and take it away for me.

    I also like recycling and absolutely admiring the effort, but what happens with this newly created containers, these reused things? Aren’t they junk that we save (probably we shouldn’t even buy them or somehow the industry should also be more sensitive on packaging) then becomes clutter and then we declutter them and they still end up in our selective bins?

    • @AmyGood
      @AmyGood  Před 24 dny +1

      Hi Linda, you're absolutely right! While recycling and reusing are commendable, it's crucial to consider the lifecycle of these repurposed items.
      In areas like dairy and tofu where alternative packaging options aren't always easy to find, minimizing our consumption becomes even more crucial.
      And I also agree that this highlights the need for both individuals and corporations to work towards more sustainable solutions. Ultimately, it's about finding a balance between minimizing waste and ensuring what we repurpose doesn't just contribute to another cycle of clutter. Thanks for sparking this important conversation! 🌱

      고형 비누를 내열 용기(예: 오븐에 사용 가능한 유리)에 넣고 뜨거운 물이 끓는 냄비 위에 올려 놓을 수 있습니다. 끓는 뜨거운 물에서 나오는 증기로 오븐용 용기(이중 보일러와 유사)에 있는 비누를 녹이도록 하세요.
